Adam Pearse: NZ Herald political reporter on former Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon resigning over undisclosed conflict of interest - The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin

Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon has resigned after it came to light he'd failed to declare conflicts of interests.

It came to light that Foon didn't declare that a company he directed received more than $2 million for the provision of emergency housing.

In April it was revealed he and his family made donations to Labour MP Kiri Allan and a National candidate.

NZ Herald political reporter Adam Pearse says it's hard to judge whether a role like Race Relations Commissioner can tick the boxes.
